Traveling through the famine years with the system to raise cubs

Li Shanren was very surprised. He stroked his beard and asked, "Mr. Jiang, just say what you want."

"Do you have any cotton here?" Jiang Ling asked.

"Cotton, how much do you want?" Li Shan frowned after hearing this and muttered.

"I think the money for this batch of peppermint cream will be exchanged for cotton," Jiang Ling said.

Jiang Ling's words startled Li Shanren, he frowned and stared at her a little more seriously and asked, "Jiang Shi, you...why do you need so much cotton?"

Jiang Ling pointed to the sky and said, "Li Shanren, you should know about the locust incident yesterday. This batch of cotton is used to prevent insects."

"Oh? Cotton prevents insects? This is the first time I've heard of it. Since you said it, there must be your intentions. In this way, I will give you the full amount of cotton, and I will also pay you the copper coins of mint paste. If you can really control it If I kill the locusts, this is considered a merit." Li Shanren said.

Jiang Ling knew Li Shanren's intentions. In the ancient "scholars, farmers, businessmen", merchants were at the bottom. Although Li Shanren was rich, he was not valued by most people. Most merchants like this would choose to send their children to study or Do good deeds to enhance your reputation and status.

Jiang Ling nodded in agreement, and Li Shanren asked Jiang Ling when he needed time and said: "Mr. Jiang, don't worry, I'll let Ah Fu send it to you in a while. It's not safe for you to carry these copper coins as a woman. If you can trust them Me, I'll let Ah Fu take it with me."

Jiang Ling thanked her and left with the three children. Jiang Suihe asked in a low voice, "Mom, why do you need so much cotton?"

Jiang Ling smiled mysteriously and did not tell about the extermination of the locusts. The mother and daughter sat in a bullock cart and continued walking towards Pingxi County. After arriving in Jiangling, he got off the bullock cart and rushed over immediately.

"Excuse me, are you Mrs. Jiang?" Although the other party was well dressed, he spoke very politely.

Jiang Ling guarded the three children behind him and asked vigilantly, "Who are you?"

The man seemed to have seen countless people, he quickly waved his hand and explained: "Sister-in-law, don't get me wrong, I am the shopkeeper of the Royal Kitchen Building in Pingxi County, and your mint water has spread in our Pingxi County! I think your recipe Can you sell it to me?"

Jiang Ling looked up at a yamen gate not far from her, and then sized up the man a few times. He didn't look like a bad person. Even if he was really a bad person, he probably wouldn't have the guts to mistreat her at the yamen gate. Thinking of this Jiang Ling Ling still protected the three children behind him and said, "Brother, the recipe for dry eating and drinking that you know is the most important!"

The man probably thought that Jiang Ling would say this, so he quickly stretched out ten fingers and said to Jiang Ling: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will pay you ten taels of silver, which is enough for your family of four for two or three years."

Ten taels of silver sounds very tempting at first, but Jiang Ling doesn't think so. Jiang Ling looked up at the hot sun, and began to calculate in his heart that the peppermint water can still be sold for at least one more month. The income is at least about one tael of silver, and even if the loss and seven seven eighty-eight are added together, I can still make a net profit of 25 taels.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ling shook her head and said to the man: "Thank you for your kindness, brother, but I don't intend to sell this recipe because it is passed down from my ancestors."

Speaking of which, Jiang Ling took the child to the gate of the yamen, and handed his bamboo tube to the tall and thin yamen servant.

Seeing Jiang Ling's resolute attitude, the man couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Just as he was about to go back, Jiang Ling had a new problem.

A man in a black gown ran up to Jiang Ling panting. He looked at Jiang Ling and asked excitedly, "Excuse me, are you Jiang?"

Jiang Ling was a little surprised, what happened today?Why did people come to her one after another, and the yamen servant on the side stared at the panting man in front of him with some vigilance.

The man quickly waved his hand and explained: "Brother Cha, don't misunderstand me. I am the head of Huacuilou. We heard that sister-in-law has come to Pingxi County. Our shopkeeper wants to see her."

Jiang Ling frowned when she heard the words, she looked at the strange man in front of her, took a step back and said, "I don't know your shopkeeper!"

The other party quickly explained: "Your mint water is memorable, and our shopkeeper hopes to reach a cooperation with you."

Jiang Ling's frown deepened. She glanced at the shopkeeper of the Yuchu Building next to her, and saw that the man's face was already displeased. It is not difficult to see that the Yuchu Building and Huacui Building should be in a competitive relationship.

"My prescription is not for sale, brother, I'm really sorry for your wasted trip." Jiang Ling shook her head and refused.

Jiang Ling's actions obviously relieved the shopkeeper of Yuchulou who had been watching him, but what the head of Huacuilou said next immediately made the shopkeeper of Yuchulou's heart rise in his throat.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, our shopkeeper doesn't ask for prescriptions, but only hopes that you can supply him with goods. You should come with me quickly!" The man in front of him made a "please" gesture.

Jiang Ling glanced at the child behind him, and said to Jiang Suhe: "Suihe, take your younger siblings to Uncle Lu's ox cart and sit down, mother will come as soon as she goes!"

"Sister-in-law, you...how about we talk again?" The shopkeeper of Yuchulou was completely panicked, and he walked briskly between Jiang Ling and Huacuilou's chef.

The positions of the three of them seemed a little awkward, Jiang Ling grinned helplessly and rolled his eyes and said, "Otherwise, what should the three of us talk about together?"

"Together? Huh! Don't!" Yuchulou and Huacuilou said in unison, as if they were each other.

Jiang Ling was amused by the tacit understanding between the two, she covered her mouth and smiled and continued: "Okay, both of you are businessmen, you should understand that harmony makes money, let's go together!"

The shopkeeper of Huacui Building is a thin man in his fifties, with a benevolent look, and he is very kind at first sight. It will be almost noon, when Huacui Building is busy. With Jiang Ling appearing, he hurried over to meet him.

Although he was displeased when he saw the shopkeeper of Yuchulou, he didn't show it.

The shopkeeper of Huacuilou led Jiang Ling to the private room, his eyes fell on the shopkeeper of Huacuilou and said meaningfully: "I said, Old Wu, you should also know how to avoid suspicion!"

"I met her first!" The shopkeeper of Yuchulou gave the shopkeeper of Huacuilou a displeased look.

"Both of you are businessmen, and you should know that harmony makes money. If you go to war because of mint water, wouldn't I be a sinner?" Seeing the stalemate between the two sides, Jiang Ling quickly smoothed things over.

"Hmph!" Both sides hummed again in unison.

"I don't know what the two shopkeepers are asking me for? If there is nothing else, I will go back first. I still have three children to take care of! I really can't delay too much time!" Jiang Ling said quickly, not liking the atmosphere.

"Don't, sister-in-law, don't leave now, I have something to discuss with you." The shopkeeper of Huacuilou said quickly.
